During a 4-month-old infant's well-child checkup, the nurse discusses introduction of solid foods into the infant's diet
Although the nurse recommends delaying the introduction of many foods into the diet, which food(s) will the nurse discuss delaying because they increase the risk for food allergy? 1. Honey
2. Carrots, beets, and spinach
3. Pork
4. Cow's milk, eggs, and peanuts
4
Explanation:
1. Although honey can contain botulism spores that cannot be detoxified by the infant younger than 1 year old, it does not cause an allergic reaction.
2. Carrots, beets, and spinach contain nitrates and should not be given before 4 months of age.
3. The addition of pork is delayed until the infant is 8 to 10 months old because meats are hard to digest.
4. Cow's milk, eggs, and peanuts are foods that have been associated with food allergies.
